Per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1516390 , the /etc/xul-
ext/ubufox.js file acts as the default settings file for 10.04 and newer
users. I've confirmed this on Xubuntu 10.04.2.

turncoat, wow - so does this mean the Ubufox plugin overrides the FF
default in firefox.js?

Sorry Philippe, your updated workaround posted on2008-12-23 doesn't work
at all. I tried both with new and existing profiles, and even altering
pref to lockPref in both mozilla.txt (before converting to .cfg) and
/etc/xulrunner-1.9/system-greprefs.js ...

This happens under Debian lenny, too. The corresponding Debian bug and a
better workaround is found in Debian bug report http://bugs.debian.org

To be precise, adding
pref(browser.startup.homepage,
resource:/defaults/syspref/homepage.properties);
to /etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js and creating
/etc/iceweasel/pref/homepage.properties containing
browser.startup.homepage=http://blog.cornils.net/
makes things work.

Hello Jordan!
Well, first of all the Workaround is meant for you to put to the default
startup homepage into the mozilla.cfg not firefox.js. I still haven't
been able to figure out how to fix that (Although I have to admit I
wasn't able to spend much time debugging).
But second, you're
Philippe, I have also tried your method from comment on 2008-10-01, both
with generating my own mozilla.cfg and using your supplied config. I
verified and reverified all settings in your workaround with no avail.
/etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js *still* isn't honoring the homepage
setting, either.

What's interesting, IIRC, is that this bug doesn't exist in Debian.
Maybe someone can verify this and track it down that way?

It is my stance that most of this should be covered in the
/etc/firefox-3.0/pref/firefox.js file (if using FF3.x), as this is the
pref file that all other global options are set (and seem to work fine
besides this one pref).

Unfortunately, yes. :( Sure would be nice to have this fixed. It seems
that this parameter is the only one that I've found that is ignored by
Firefox (both 2.x and 3.x).

I've got to retract my last comment on 2008-08-20 - I guess that was an

I just tried setting a default already present in the
/etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js file from 'false' to 'true' - and it has no
effect on the configuration when restarting FF3 and peeking at the value
in about:config.
It looks to me like the /etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js is completely
disregarded
